Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 13 Comments
IGN recently published an article about Zelda: Breath of the Wild which contains comments from producer Eiji Aonuma. Aonuma spoke about the world and how getting lost can be fun, rupees’ role, the subtitle, the special arrow shown in 2014, and Link’s green tunic.
We’ve rounded up Aonuma’s comments below. You can read IGN’s full piece here.
On how Nintendo approached the idea of filling such a large space…
“We talked a little bit about the idea of density, how dense to make this big world.” – Aonuma
– The team realized that filling the vast landscape with things to do and explore would be a lot of work
– As the team experienced moving around on horseback or climbing up to a high place to paraglide down, they realized that their desire to see what’s ahead of the next horizon grew
– At the same time, the team realized some moments should be subtle as you explore
“We realized that it’s OK if there’s pocket of emptiness.” – Aonuma
